rhyme & reason

[cavendish]

Can anyone please help me with this one;
Bird or butterfly (8)
On the borderline (8)
The answers must rhyme.
Many thanks

[fordward]

wee bit time to go on this one ask me later

[squarebear]

A more helpful answer would be perhaps greyling for the 1st one and possibly margin for the 2nd??

[smouse]

and that would be wrong

[fordward]

you so right smouse

[squarebear]

Well fair enough, but at least I tried to offer a suggestion as a greyling is a bird and a butterfly and also has 8 letters.

Why post saying, "ask me later?". It would be better for you not to post at all.

[fordward]

only because the quiz has more than a month to run otherwise i would give the answer

[squarebear]

I just find the attitude of "I know it and you don't, ner ner" doesn't really have a place on a Q&A site.

[smouse]

It isnt that at all as fordward said there is still time so why not keep trying a bit longer

so to make you feel better a clue for second part is to look at the answer you gave

[annie49]

2nd clue 'Marginal'?

[smouse]

It would definitely have not been the attitude if I hadnt said I thought you were wrong as if they didnt query it and not many do thats one they would have got wrong

[squarebear]

That's why I put the questions marks indicating that I wasn't sure.

Cardinal is a type of bird and butterfly.
So that would fit with marginal.

Feel free to ask any question you like cavendish. It doesn't matter when the closing date is.

frontier could be an answer to the 2nd clue

wheatear is a bird that rhymes with it but it's not a butterfly (as far as I know).
